Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

It should be...no problem, right?

…………

Before Xia Chen could even catch his breath, he was pulled into the reception room by Long Ye, who happened to be passing by. He had just said goodbye to the hardworking bluebird that had guided him and was now flying back home.

He seemed very interested in Xia Chen's trip to Dragon Island.

"You're back so soon? How was the trip?"

The events on Dragon Island were not complicated. Within minutes, Xia Chen recounted the events of the past few days.

However, the not-so-complicated story surprised Long Ye, for the same reason that Long Yue had been surprised at the time.

"Dragonite actually took you to bestow blessings...?"

Longye felt a little emotional, but he was mostly happy for Xia Chen.

After discussing Dragon Island, Xia Chen suddenly said, "Uncle Long, I've troubled you for a long time. I'd like to move to the school tomorrow."

Longye was somewhat surprised by Xia Chen's departure. "What's wrong? Isn't there still some time before school starts?"

Xia Chen replied, "That's true, but I still want to get used to the school environment first. If there's anything I'm not satisfied with, we can communicate with the school."

There was another reason he didn't mention: he went to Dragon Island, and Milotic and Hack... no, he broke up with Dragonite, so it wasn't appropriate for them to live together anymore.

The two elves were in an awkward situation; perhaps they should gradually forget each other.

After careful consideration, Xia Chen made this decision.

Xia Chen had a valid reason, and Long Ye had no reason to refuse.

So the next day, Xia Chen left Qianlong Martial Arts Academy with his meager luggage, ready to begin his university life.

Chapter 185 Let's begin the experiment!

It's hard to imagine that Shangjing, the largest city in the Donghuang region, only has one university.

However, this does not mean that the city's higher education is inadequate. On the contrary, with the concentration of resources, whether it is humanities, science, engineering, or even elf studies, Beijing University is the top university in the Donghuang region.

Naturally, one can imagine the sheer size and area of ​​such a comprehensive school.

A simple statistic illustrates the point: the Kamikyo subway line 3 stops at five stations within Kamikyo University...

Although it's early August and there are still more than two weeks until the start of the new school term, there are still quite a few people on campus.

Aside from a small number of students who didn't go home, there are also many ordinary citizens who come here to eat, shop, train, and watch Pokémon battles.

After all, with the subway now running into the school, maintaining the purity of the campus is no easy task.

It's less like a campus and more like a cluster of teaching buildings and dormitories built in a bustling commercial district.

Even so, there are still some places on the campus of Kyoto University that can only be entered by swiping a student card, such as teaching buildings, special training halls, and dormitories.

Xia Chen learned all of this from the teacher who brought him in.

Upon learning that Xia Chen was going to enroll early, the school immediately assigned a mentor to introduce Xia Chen to all aspects of school life and learning.

For most people, being carried by senior students would be the best they could do, but as the champion of the recruitment competition, Xia Chen receives top-tier treatment in every aspect.

…………

The campus of Kyoto University is so large that even a whole day might not be enough to explore it thoroughly.

After introducing Xia Chen to the important locations in his future life, the young teacher named Lin Quan led Xia Chen to the dormitory area for the Elf Science students.

Even on the vast campus of Kamikyo University, dormitories occupy a large portion of the campus, especially those for the Pokémon Department.

After all, a trainer might have to raise six Pokémon, and there might be big ones like Onix, Aggron, and Rhyperior. The dormitory area is too small and life is awkward.

Kyoto University offers several types of dormitories: four-person, double, single, and the most luxurious detached villas.

Accommodation and supporting training equipment are both considered part of the training resources, so naturally, the top-of-the-line detached villa dormitory area is occupied by members of the Kyoto University team.

Of course, there is one exception: Xia Chen, who is about to move in. This is one of the rewards he received as the champion of the recruitment competition.

But it doesn't matter. Unless it's an extremely outrageous situation, the champion of the recruitment competition will definitely be qualified to join the school team in the future. It's just a matter of time.

After guiding Xia Chen to his dormitory, which would be his for the next four years, Teacher Lin Quan left behind the Bogaman and his phone number before departing.

Xia Chen also took his curious little elves to visit the house, which was much larger than their original home in Zhijiang.

Upon entering the gate, the first thing that catches the eye is a swimming pool that would make any aquatic creature except Wailord live very comfortably.

Xia Chen chuckled and patted Milotic beside him, saying, "Milotic, this is your territory from now on."

"Phew~"

Milotic squinted and exclaimed with delight, then eagerly leaped into the pool.

In the sweltering summer, staying in the water is definitely the most comfortable thing to do.

Ignoring him, Xia Chen led Xianbu and the others further inside.

Next to the pool is a small but exquisite garden, prepared for some elves who have high requirements for their living environment, such as Flower Leaf, Lady Flower Clean, and Miss Skirt.

Although Xia Chen didn't have these elves, Kirlia and Zoroya also quite liked this beautiful flower garden.

After playing among the flowers for a while, the two girls, who loved beauty, picked two pretty little flowers and put them in Xia Chen's hair.

Unexpectedly, instead of getting stuck in her hair, it ended up getting stuck in Doronmesia's hair, who was sleeping.

Little Duolong let out a soft groan of pain, staring resentfully at his two seniors, issuing a silent protest.

After a period of playful banter, Xia Chen and the elves left the flower garden and continued walking towards the house.

…………

Passing through the flowerbed, you'll find a standard Pokémon battleground. The arena is a typical rocky terrain, nothing particularly interesting.

Xia Chen thought about it for a moment and realized that when they weren't fighting, it was a great place for outdoor barbecue and hot pot.

Apart from that, there's nothing else outside the house.

The house was better than Xia Chen had expected. The warm-toned decor and all the soft and hard furnishings were much better than Xia Chen's old, dilapidated apartment in Zhijiang.

Although it's not luxurious, it's clearly a place suitable for living, with a kitchen, dining room, and living room all in one.

Besides that, the largest area on the first floor is an exquisite training room.

Although small, the training room is fully equipped with all kinds of high-end small training equipment. A quick glance suggests that building such a training room would cost at least several million.

Xia Chen clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking, "As expected of Beijing University, they really spare no expense."

However, with such a training room, even short breaks in the morning or before bedtime can be utilized.

This is roughly the layout of the first floor. The second and third floors have one master bedroom and eight or nine secondary bedrooms, which is a bit of a waste for Xia Chen.

Apart from Milotic, Xia Chen's other Pokémon are all quite small. Even the larger ones, Sylveon and Kirlia, are only a little over a meter tall, so they can easily fit together on a bed.

In fact, they still do this to this day.

Looking at the large, soft bed in front of him, Xia Chen understood that even after coming to Beijing, he couldn't change this kind of life.

Sure enough, before Xia Chen could even speak, Sylvanas, Kirlia, and Zoroia excitedly jumped onto the bed and began dividing up the territory.

Sylveon occupied the left side of the bed, Kirlia occupied the right side, and the smallest of the three, Zoroar, took the pillow.

The three elves were lying on the bed, their positions resembling a couplet.

Little Duolong showed no intention of fighting over it, but quietly nestled in Xia Chen's hair.

He doesn't need to share this place with any elves.

…………

The dormitory is cleaned regularly, but it lacks many daily necessities.

So for the rest of the day, Xia Chen led the elves to busy themselves at Silver Department Store, purchasing all sorts of items.

Now that Xia Chen has money, he no longer needs to be stingy and hesitant; he can take whatever he sees that might be useful.

He also told the elves not to be shy and to buy whatever they wanted that day.

The other elves, each possessing unique skills, showed little reaction to these mortal objects, but the little dragon perched on Xia Chen's hair was immediately intrigued.

Hmm...isn't this a great opportunity to conduct experiments?

However, the system is not yet fully understood, so Xiao Duolong doesn't dare to experiment with anything too expensive, but he's quite diligent about using all sorts of gadgets that cost a few hundred or a few thousand.

With the "help" of Dorgon Mesiah, the truck carrying goods to Xia Chen's dormitory was almost full by the end of the morning.

Xia Chen looked at the bill, which was filled with all sorts of strange things like medicines, incense, and herbs, and scratched his head.

Did I buy these things...?

Dorgonmesia discovered that while the other functions of this system are still unclear, one function is quite obvious: it acts as a four-dimensional pocket.

With just a thought, you can bring the things in front of you into your consciousness space. Isn't that much more convenient than a storage ball?

Moreover, unlike the limited storage spheres, the storage cabinets attached to this system seem to have no storage limit. After being brought into the consciousness space, they appear in front of you in the form of pictures.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the locker, Xiao Duolong excitedly rubbed his two little paws together.

Alright, let's begin the experiment!

…………

Draco Messia's first two crafting materials were a common red and white Poké Ball and a food called Sweetie.

These are two completely unrelated items that seem to have no connection whatsoever.

But that's exactly what Dorgonmesia is after all; doesn't it call itself the "System of All Things"?

Let me try combining these two and see what we can get.

Draco Messia placed the Poké Ball and Sweetie into the synthesizer and silently said, "Start synthesizing."

The synthesizer started spinning, and after about ten seconds, it gradually stopped.

A flash of white light appeared, and a Poké Ball with a somewhat subtle color appeared in the synthesizer.

It actually succeeded in synthesizing it?

Doronmesia was a little surprised, and he quickly took out the item that had been successfully synthesized.

[Sweet Ball: A white-quality ball, somewhat unique in that it makes it easier to catch Pokémon of the opposite gender from your own Pokémon.]
